If you want to go to one fine dining establishment while in Honolulu, Mugen is it! An intimate, well designed dining room sets the tone. The service is friendly and very professional. Every dish that was served was perfect. This six course dining experience was exceptional. Try the foie gras sandwich...simply the best. All of the service staff and a visit from the chef made the visit a memorable evening. If Michelin ever starts reviewing Hawaii restaurants, Mugen would earn three stars!

We were there to celebrate our anniversary and we were greeted with well wishes. Our server, Brandon used our name, which is something I truly believe is incredibly professional. He then explained the menu and their options. When asked, he recommended cocktails, and gave us his opinion on The menu choices for the four course dinner we each selected. He read our table and understood. We were not in a rush, but they are to enjoy a dining experience so our courcess came out paced accordingly. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a great dining experience with excellent food great service and a wonderful way to spend our 20th anniversary.

I did the vegan tasting menu and my husband did the meat tasting menu and they were both incredible. You cannot share because the portions are small but the flavor is worth it. We added on the wine pairing and it was all very well thought out!
